Prime Minister Gilani’s passionate and defiant support of President Zardari augments well for the strong leader. Gilani’s stance averted a crisis which could well have thrown the fragile economy into disarray once more. India watchful of the volatile situation in Pakistan, needs to step up its engagement with the colonial cousin. As the world witnesses an economic transition, Indian PM needs to effectively engage with his Pakistani counterpart. With assurances of continued US civil aid, Pakistan is following a pragmatic route to maintain and sustain its identity. In this endeavour, India can prove to be a strong ally.

From the look of it, Gilani comes across as a strong leader and if correctly approached, he can be instrumental in fostering greater understanding and amity with India. It is high time for India and Pakistan to unite forces to promote regional peace and harmony.
